London, September 11

It is -claimed that the new car saves 50 per cent, petrol consumption, white at high speeds it scarcely touches the ground, !hereby saving tire wear. The engine is a straight eight, watercooled, of 22 li.p., placed in the hack, and eliminating all noise, heat, and fumes.
Lengthy reviews of trial tests indicate that l-oad shocks are eliminated because each wheel is independently. sprung. Hump bridges are taken at 70 miles an hour without inconveniencing the pas- ( nget's. The car is being marketed at £1.500.
